The Berkley Powerbait 5" Jerk Shad features an extremely life-like profile and enticing action. The Jerk Shad also has the added benefit of Powerbait scent and attractant. Once a fish bites into the Jerk Shad, the Powerbait flavor impregnated into the bait, causes the fish to hang on longer for more positive hooksets. The Powerbait 5" Jerk Shad quickly darts and glides smoothly - imitating an escaping bait fish. Definitely a versatile bait, the Berkley Jerk Shad can be fished effectively around shallow cover or in open water.

Comments: These baits are not usually available in NZ so I took a bit of a gamble when I bought them sight unseen. One of the best tackle decisions I have ever made. They are great for Snapper & Kahawai and durable too. I'm totally sold on them.

Comments: I use these on the shorelines for stripers and they are amazing. They don't rip easy. And they look amazing. Buy them!

Comments: you need to get this bait, i used them in a spring rain storm with a small weighted T hook and i killed them in 1 hour in the storm i had 5 bass that wieght totaled to 26 pounds. notice they rip extreamly easliy so i like to keep some mendit with me when fishing these guys but after the rip once i rig them upside down and still catch fish

Comments: Berkley calls this a saltwater bait, however, largemouth slam this. Maybe it's the lifelike eyes on these? I fish a lake in NJ that has mostly 12 to 14 inch bass with an occasional 4 pounder. I have caught 3 - 4 lb. bass on this lure. Berkley should make the same lure and call it freshwater.
